of the German element OF the city, al
though, no doubt, there are many Ameri.
cans in sympathy with it, and in both
cases the motive is the same, viz to
extend the curse of beer and rum
At recent meeting these Germans
denounced the American Sunday laws as
puritanical, tyrannical and more despotic
than the laws in Europe. These fellows
might as well understand first as last,
that these laws were made to suit the
American idea and not the German.

1t is time for men who desire right
eousness and good government to take
an independent position in politics, and
vote both for good principles and good
men. There are men in both parties
who use their party simply to obtain
place and who object to the advocacy of
any righteous principle that will endan-
ger success, for thereby their place
would be endangered The glory of any
party should be that it stands by what it
believes to be right ard WANTS success
only as right goes with it. But TO the
average politician such ideas are. mere
sentiment Office, with them, is
what counts.
